**********************************************************
There are a couple of rules that USA Fencing is enforcing.
1. If you are 18 years old or older, you must be a "checkED" or "Coach" Member of the USFA including passing the online background check.
The Bay Cup has offered to reimburse you for your "checkED" memberships ($35.00) if you agree to help ref a few Bay Cup tournaments and get listed on the Bay Cup's online referee list. e-mail thebaycup@gmail.com for more information.
2. You must also take the free Online Safe Sport Training.
Attending an official FOC-sanctioned clinic is a prerequisite for attempting the written exam. Once a passing score (90%) has been achieved on the written exam (both the general section and one or more weapon-specific sections) a referee receives a rating of "P" in each weapon passed. Further ratings improvements (1-10) can be obtained at a later date by being evaluated in a practical setting at tournaments.
The lecture and question and answer format on Friday/Saturday will provide a broad understanding of the role, responsibilities, and duties of a referee. It is not a study group for test preparation. It is expected that participants will have read the study guide and come prepared with a willingness to learn how to be a better referee and fencer.
Who should attend:
- Aspiring referees - who want to learn how right of way and rules are being applied at a national and international level
- Athletes - who want to improve their games and get a more complete understanding of their sport
- Coaches - who want to maintain their grasp of current interpretations and rules updates
- Parents - who want a better understanding of tournament format and the basics of sport fencing for their children
- Current referees - who need to fulfill their yearly requirement for seminar attendance or further their personal development
